Performance Analysis: Lockdown Protocol on Your System
The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 and Intel Arc B580 combination delivers a playable experience across most popular gaming resolutions in Lockdown Protocol, with the data showing a clear ceiling at 4K where only the Low preset maintains fluid motion. At 1080p and 1440p, this pairing offers substantial headroom, allowing for high visual fidelity without sacrificing frame rate.
Best Settings per Resolution
At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that holds at or above 60 FPS is Low, which produces an average of 73 FPS. The Medium preset drops to 52 FPS average, with a minimum of 44 FPS and a maximum of 59 FPS, making it unsuitable for a consistent 60 FPS target. High and Ultra fall further behind at 45 FPS and 34 FPS respectively.
Moving to 2560x1440, the best playable setting is High, delivering an average of 70 FPS. This is a significant improvement over 4K, and the Medium preset also remains viable at 80 FPS average. Low runs even faster at 113 FPS, but High offers the best balance of visual quality and performance at this resolution. Ultra, however, dips to 52 FPS, missing the 60 FPS threshold.
At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that clears 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves an average of 72 FPS. This is the only resolution where the maximum settings are fully playable. High runs at 95 FPS, Medium at 109 FPS, and Low at 154 FPS, showing that this combo has ample performance for competitive play at 1080p with all settings maxed out.
Similar Performance Alternatives
The CPU and GPU each have close rivals based on aggregate benchmark scores, which can help contextualize expected behavior in Lockdown Protocol.
For the Intel Core Ultra 5 225, the nearest competitor is the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F, with a delta of 0% — meaning their average benchmark scores are effectively identical. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D is 0.2% slower, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 trails by 0.4%. The Intel Core i9-12900T rounds out the group at 0.5% behind. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would deliver nearly the same frame rates in Lockdown Protocol, assuming the GPU is the limiting factor.
On the graphics side, the Intel Arc B580 sits close to the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP, which is 0.2% slower. Interestingly, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 is 0.6% faster, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 is 0.7% slower, and the NVIDIA P106-100 is 1% behind. The data suggests that the Arc B580's performance profile is remarkably consistent with these older and newer NVIDIA cards, meaning users upgrading from any of these GPUs would see negligible differences in Lockdown Protocol frame rates.
Measured FPS Breakdown
The measured data provides a clear picture of how this combo scales across resolutions and settings.
3840x2160 (4K):
- Ultra: Average 34 FPS
- High: Average 45 FPS
- Medium: Average 52 FPS, minimum 44 FPS, maximum 59 FPS
- Low: Average 73 FPS
The 4K results show a steep performance cliff between Low and Medium, with a 21 FPS drop. The Medium preset's minimum of 44 FPS indicates notable frame pacing issues, as the maximum only reaches 59 FPS — just shy of the 60 FPS target.
2560x1440 (1440p):
- Ultra: Average 52 FPS
- High: Average 70 FPS
- Medium: Average 80 FPS, minimum 68 FPS, maximum 92 FPS
- Low: Average 113 FPS
At 1440p, the Medium preset shows a healthy frame time distribution, with the minimum staying well above the playable threshold. The jump from Ultra to High is substantial, gaining 18 FPS, which suggests that Ultra's extra effects are particularly demanding on this GPU.
1920x1080 (1080p):
- Ultra: Average 72 FPS
- High: Average 95 FPS
- Medium: Average 109 FPS, minimum 93 FPS, maximum 126 FPS
- Low: Average 154 FPS
1080p is where this combo shines. Even at Ultra, the average exceeds 60 FPS with room to spare. The Medium preset's minimum of 93 FPS means there is virtually no risk of dropping below playable levels, even in intense firefights.
The Verdict
The data clearly indicates that this PC can run Lockdown Protocol without issue at most settings. At 1920x1080, the verdict is unequivocal: Ultra settings are playable with 72 FPS average, and every other preset runs far above the 60 FPS threshold. This is the target resolution for this combo.
At 2560x1440, the system is also fully capable, with High settings delivering 70 FPS average. The Medium preset is even smoother at 80 FPS, and Low hits 113 FPS. Only Ultra falls short at 52 FPS, so users should avoid maxing out every option at this resolution.
At 3840x2160, the situation is more constrained. Only the Low preset achieves playable performance, averaging 73 FPS. The Medium preset's average of 52 FPS and minimum of 44 FPS makes it a poor choice for consistent gameplay. For 4K users, sacrificing visual fidelity is mandatory.
In summary, this combination is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it can handle high and ultra settings. 4K is possible only at the lowest settings, and even then, the margin is thin.
FAQ
*Q: Can this PC run Lockdown Protocol at 4K with High settings?*
A: No. The measured average FPS at 3840x2160 with High settings is 45 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold. Only the Low preset at 4K reaches a playable average of 73 FPS.
Q: What is the best settings preset for 1440p?
A: The High preset is the best playable option at 2560x1440, delivering 70 FPS average. While Medium runs faster at 80 FPS, High provides better visual quality while still clearing the 60 FPS requirement.
Q: Does the Medium preset at 1080p maintain a stable frame rate?
A: Yes. At 1920x1080 with Medium settings, the average FPS is 109, with a minimum of 93 FPS and a maximum of 126 FPS. The minimum stays well above the playable threshold.
Q: How does the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 compare to its nearest CPU rival?
A: The CPU's average benchmark score of 36938 is identical to the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F (delta 0%). The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D is 0.2% slower, and the Intel Core i9-12900T is 0.5% behind.
Q: Is the Intel Arc B580 significantly faster than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080?
A: The data shows the RTX 2080 is actually 0.6% faster than the Arc B580 in average benchmark scores. This difference is negligible in real-world gaming, meaning performance in Lockdown Protocol would be nearly identical.
Q: What is the highest playable setting at 4K?
A: The Low preset is the only playable option at 3840x2160, with an average of 73 FPS. The Medium preset averages 52 FPS, which falls short of the 60 FPS threshold.
How This Combo Ranks
This specific combination of the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 and Intel Arc B580 ranks 2795 out of 3714 tested combos in Lockdown Protocol. This places it in the lower-middle portion of the database, which is consistent with the measured frame rates — it is a capable 1080p and 1440p machine, but it struggles at 4K.
The ranking reflects that while this CPU and GPU are individually mid-range performers, their combined output is sufficient for smooth gameplay at mainstream resolutions. The CPU's percentile of 85 among all CPUs indicates strong processing power, but the GPU's percentile of 68 among all GPUs is the limiting factor for higher resolutions. The data suggests that users with this combo should target 1080p Ultra or 1440p High for the best experience, and reserve 4K for Low settings only.
